Landlords, agents and businesses in Drylaw
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Shower tray repair at your home in Drylaw
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Drylaw questions
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?

Do you come to Drylaw?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Drylaw and the rest of Edinburgh. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
